Who we are, briefly

Pets Juicy is a dog grooming, washing and daycare studio in Miami on the Gold Coast. We were started by Trent and James in August 2024. The studio runs at low volume on purpose, so every dog gets one-on-one attention from their groomer in a calm room. We've got a 5 star average on Google, and we keep it there by hiring people who care about the work.

What we're hiring for

Experienced dog groomer

You'll do Tidy Clips, breed-specific cuts, hygiene work, deshed treatments and baths. You should be confident handling short and long coats across small, medium and large dogs, and comfortable adapting your approach to nervous or sensitive dogs without forcing the issue.

Hours: Tuesday to Saturday. Shifts include set-up before we open and the clean after close, all paid. Some flexibility on days possible.

Daycare assistant

You'll supervise small play groups, manage the rest zones, clean the studio and chat with clients at drop-off and pickup. Suits someone who reads dog body language well and can keep a calm room calm. No grooming experience needed, but a genuine interest in dog behaviour helps.

Hours: Tuesday to Saturday. Shifts include set-up before we open and the clean after close, all paid. Part-time and casual considered.

Why work here

What you actually get

This is the real list, without the recruitment-poster spin.

  • One-on-one grooming. There are no stacked bookings or shared benches, so you can do the job properly without rushing.
  • Quieter studio than most. We keep it low volume, with calm music and dryers we picked because they're not industrial, and your ears will thank you.
  • Pay that matches the work. Competitive rates based on experience. We'd rather pay properly than churn through staff.
  • Free Pets Juicy daycare for your own dog. Bring them to work if it suits the day, or use the daycare when there's space.
  • Free access to Paint Juicy events. Our sister business is a paint and sip company. Free tickets for you and a plus one whenever a session has space.
  • Snacks, drinks and proper coffee. They're stocked all day, and lunch breaks are long enough to actually eat lunch.
  • Career growth. We're growing, and we want the people who join early to grow with us. Senior groomer roles, training and lead positions are all on the table.
  • The beach is right there. Lunch swim or post-shift surf is part of the job's geography.

Who we're looking for

We hire for attitude as much as skill. We can teach the technical side, but the rest is harder.

  • Calm under pressure. Dogs read your energy, so if you're flustered, they'll be too. The best groomers and daycare staff we've worked with are the ones who don't escalate.
  • Honest with clients. If a dog's coat is matted and a groom isn't realistic, we tell the client. If something's not right with a dog's skin, we mention it. We don't oversell, undersell, or skip the awkward conversations.
  • Detail-driven. Tidy paws, clean ears and a symmetrical face are the small things that separate a five-star groom from an okay one.
  • Team-first. We're a small team with no hierarchy games, so if someone's drowning, you jump in.

Formal grooming qualifications are a plus but not a requirement for the groomer role. Demonstrated experience matters more. The daycare role doesn't need any certifications.

A normal day at the studio

The first dogs arrive around 8am. You'll have your day's bookings on the screen, with notes from previous visits where they exist. You take each dog into your area, do the work, take photos for the client, and check in with them at pickup. Lunch is taken in shifts so the studio is always staffed. There's quiet music, decent coffee and dogs everywhere. By 4pm the last pickups are done and the studio gets a proper clean before tomorrow.

Some days are big breed cuts, some days are mostly washes, most days are a mix. We don't double-book, so the schedule is what it says it is.
